Title:
Remus Repeal Reserve VI
Description:
Distillery: Ross & Squib (MGP)
Type & Region: Bourbon, USA
Alcohol: 50%
Composition: 68.7% corn, 27.3% rye, 4% barley (yes I did the math)
Aged: Blend of 8-14 year old barrels
Color: 1.3/2.0 on the color scale (russet, muscat)
Price: $100
Remus Repeal Series 6, there was anticipation of how much further MGP would push the age. Could they get it to 14 or even 15 years old? Well, here’s the breakdown of Series 6
2% 2008 Bourbon 21% rye (~14 years old)
27% 2012 Bourbon 21% rye (~10 years old)
17% 2012 bourbon 36% rye (~10 years old)
29% 2014 bourbon 21% rye (~8 years old)
25% 2014 Bourbon 36% rye (~8 years old)
Appearance:
This is a light amber in the glass with some golden highlights. Forms small beads on the side of the glass that form long thick legs.
Nose:
The nose is delightful and makes me think of a spiced butterscotch. I get heavy brown sugar with nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove. This is followed by some lesser notes of fig jam and vanilla.
Palate:
On the front is a general toffee sweetness with a hint of honeyed fruit, it is surprisingly light for how rich the nose is. This transitions to a robust finish filled with spice and brown sugar. The finish dries out to a leathery note that lingers on the tongue for quite some time inviting you to drink again for that initial sweetness. For 50% ABV I can feel the alcohol, but it never becomes abrasive, it just leaves me with an intense warming sensation. The addition of water brings out more of the toffee flavors with almost a nutty quality and the baking spice gives way to an intense black pepper.
